Decending limbs and blocks without a ground hand

[jgreene33]

Really sorry I neglected to respond, I had read a few of the responses and intended to reply and totally lost track of this thread until just now. Was about to ask a new question and looking back at my other posts realized this.

 

Grais: Thank you. you understand,

 

Mistahbenn: tree buzz is a joke. the knowledge is there. Just hard to find it without a big hassle. I did learn a lot there but I'm always thinking outside the box and don't see that changing anytime soon and if I ask a stupid question I don't expect it to be followed by a rude answer.

 

To all others: thanks for the insight. To the safety nuts... I understand this is not an accepted practice but not every job pays enough to hire on help. Just that simple.

 

lastly. I got a lot more feedback then safety lessons. I appreciate that. that's what a man needs. sure chime in about safety. safety is important. I'm just glad to see this thread didn't become some holier then thou pissing match. Mistahbeen that's why I don't like treebuzz.

agree with above, lots of trades and sports work alone.

A slow ground crew is what I have sometimes. I don't rig big stuff solo.

have the rope threaded though the branch to be lowered (so that the half way point of the rope is at the branch.)

 

have both ends running up through a biner and sling and down to a climbing style belay device.

 

when the branch is on the deck you just pull one end back up and you are ready to rock and roll!!

I use an old krab with a broken gate on the end of a 30' rope for light pieces. So long as there is tension on the rope the krab wont release.

It is not 100% reliable as the krab sometimes snaggs
